Japanese
Cedar


Cryptomeria



Description:

In my opinion, Japanese Cedar is one of the finest evergreens for the landscape.   It's soft, whispy, feathery foliage has nice color in spring, summer, fall and winter!  The only requirement of Cryptomeria is acidic soil and protection from the drying effect of winter winds. (Pollen causes severe allegy problems.)
